"Gramps Short Stories and Tall Tales, " is the third children's
book written by Lloyd Wright. It contains twenty-eight stories on
various subjects. The stories were written for his family, little
friends, and anyone else with a curious mind and a sense of humor.
Most of the subject matter was derived from observing and
listening to the students in the two kindergarten classes as he
reads to them. He has incorporated good manners, love, friendship,
laughter, sharing, safety, and imagination through out the book.
Some of the stories were written to fit in with the units the
children were studying such as dinosaurs.
He is a volunteer that was fortunate enough to find two
kindergarten classes that will share their time and affection with
him. They refer to him as, 'Gramps."

at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - THE summer moon shone brightly down
upon the sleeping earth, while far away from mortal eyes danced the
Fairy folk. Fire-flies hung in bright clusters on the dewy leaves,
that waved in the cool night-wind; and the flowers stood gazing, in
very wonder, at the little Elves, who lay among the fern-leaves,
swung in the vine-boughs, sailed on the lake in lily cups, or
danced on the mossy ground, to the music of the hare-bells, who
rung out their merriest peal in honor of the night. Under the shade
of a wild rose sat the Queen and her little Maids of Honor, beside
the silvery mushroom where the feast was spread. "Now, my friends,"
said she, "to while away the time till the bright moon goes down,
let us each tell a tale, or relate what we have done or learned
this day. I will begin with you, Sunny Lock," added she, turning to
a lovely little Elf, who lay among the fragrant leaves of a
primrose.
